The clinical value of early extubation

Abstract: There is robust evidence to support the use of immediate postoperative ventilation in liver transplant recipients. There is no evidence, however, to show that routine ventilation of all transplant recipients provides outcomes that are as good as those documented in extubated patients. It is probably time to turn the evidentiary tables around and ask proponents of routine ventilation to prove that they have done no harm and that they meet the new minimal performance standards established by immediate postoperat… Show more

“…In patients undergoing major surgery, it may be necessary to maintain mechanical ventilation support in intensive care unit. The duration of prolonged mechanical ventilation in these patients is accepted as 48 hours in some clinical studies (9,10) and as 24 hours in some studies (7,8). In our study, we accepted mechanical ventilation for more than 24 hours as "prolonged mechanical ventilation need".…”

“…20 The timing of extubation after LT remains a subject of some controversy. 21,22 In a variety of surgical practices (eg, cardiac, thoracic) early extubation after major surgery has been demonstrated to be safe and to decrease costs. Application of such principles to LT is appropriate and careful intraoperative drug selection and drug dosing has allowed extubation of most patients within 8 hours of LT. Ventilator weaning protocols allow nurse and respiratory therapist engagement modifying sedation depth and ventilator settings to allow extubation following clinician order.…”

“…However, selection of patients for early extubation depends on duration of the surgery, amount of blood and products transfused, patients’ pre-operative status (MELD score), ischaemia time and status of the graft. [8081] A safe operating room extubation after liver transplantation (SORELT) prediction rule may be used to select patients for early extubation, but requires validation[82] [Table 3]. …”
